Gorgeous Berkley 4BR/2.5BA Home w/ Loft Suite
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
This is a spacious four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath vacation home in Berkley, positioned centrally between Royal Oak and Birmingham in the Auburn Hills area. The property is a private, whole-house rental rather than a traditional hotel, spread over three finished levels including a main floor, second-story primary suite, and a finished basement. It comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it well suited to groups, families, or extended stays.
Rooms & Layout
Two bedrooms, a full bathroom, the living room, and kitchen occupy the main floor, while the primary bedroom, bathroom, and closet are upstairs. The finished basement adds a fourth bedroom, a foosball table and hangout area, a pullout couch, a dedicated home office, and a half bathroom. Each bedroom features a smart TV, memory foam bedding, blackout drapes, and fresh linens, with a queen air mattress and pullout sofa available for extra sleeping capacity.
Amenities
The home includes a fully equipped kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, in-suite washer and heating/air conditioning throughout, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and free parking via a one-car garage plus driveway space for two to three more vehicles. A crib and other family-friendly touches are on hand, and a secluded work-from-home office with a standing desk and dual-monitor setup caters to remote workers. A private balcony and a secluded backyard round out the outdoor and entertaining space.
Neighborhood & Dining
The home sits within a short walk or drive of numerous dining options, including Golden Grill, Oak Parker, Mother Handsome pizza, The Rind, Green Lantern Pizza, Republica gastropub, and Country Oven of Berkley, along with Oak Park Social for drinks. Several bus stops (Greenfield & Oxford, San Quentin, Catalpa, and Cambridge) sit within about half a kilometer, and Royal Oak Station is roughly 4.2 km away. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is about 34 km away, and downtown Royal Oak and Birmingham are each a short drive.
Best for
This home suits groups and families traveling together, given its four bedrooms, multiple living areas, crib, and sleeping capacity for up to 12. It's also a strong fit for remote workers or business travelers who need a quiet, dedicated office setup with high-speed Wi-Fi, and for anyone visiting Beaumont Hospital or exploring Royal Oak and Birmingham thanks to its central location.
Travel tips
Overnight street parking isn't permitted in Berkley, so plan to use the one-car garage or driveway (which fits two to three additional vehicles) if you're staying overnight. Public transit options are limited directly from the house, so Uber and Lyft are the most practical way to reach Royal Oak, Ferndale, and Birmingham. Several bus stops sit within a five-minute walk for those who prefer public transportation for shorter trips.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the home's cleanliness and comfort, along with its convenient, quiet neighborhood location near Royal Oak and Birmingham. Reviewers highlight the overall condition and setup of the house as strong positives. One recurring minor criticism is that the kitchen lacks basic cooking staples like spices and oil, which guests otherwise expect in a fully equipped kitchen. Aside from that stocking gap, feedback trends strongly positive, supporting the high 4.89 average rating across 33 reviews.
